NetVault’s Microsoft Exchange Application Plugin Module (APM) provides powerful data protection solutions for your Exchange systems with mailbox and message level back up and restore options.
Electronic collaboration, such as e-mail, has become a central means of communication for many organizations. Microsoft’s Exchange Server has been adopted widely as the premier groupware application. With increased number of archived e-mail messages resulting in the growth of their corresponding database, comes the need to protect this critical corporate information. It is essential for administrators to back up and restore an Exchange server with little or no impact to users.

Key Benefits

Faster Restores
Recover only what is needed and get back to business. With mailbox level support, you can restore an individual mail message, sub-folder, or mailbox - eliminating unnecessary restores of additional non-essential items.
Reduced Backup Windows
Due to the size of a typical Exchange database, performing a full backup can stretch or exceed a backup window. NetVault's Incremental and Consolidate backup options provide administrators with the tools to accomplish the equivalent of a full backup while dramatically reducing the size of a backup window. Once an initial full backup is completed, the Incremental and Consolidate features can eliminate the need to perform additional full backups. The Incremental backup option captures changes to the Exchange data since the last full backup - a much smaller set of data with a much smaller backup window. Using an Incremental backup in combination with an original full backup allows for a consolidation into a new full backup. This new Consolidated backup can then serve as a point of reference for all other operations requiring a full backup. This functionality provides administrators with a fast, simple and reliable Exchange backup strategy.
High Availability of Applications
With online Exchange backups, there is no compromise to 24/7 operations. Exchange services and data remain available around the clock.
